If you've never heard of the Westminster dog show, well, it's like catnip for the canine crowd. It's America's most famous and prestigious pageant for the pooch. Every year it's broadcast around the world to millions. Who wouldn't want to watch four-legged perfectly-groomed and perfectly-behaved dogs strut their stuff on the green carpet in Madison Square Garden?

They're also watching the one "human" in the ring who matters most: The Judge. The person who determines who wins the coveted silver-plated trophy bowl. In 2014, that honour went to a Canadian, the pride of Salmon Cove, Newfoundland: Betty Regina Leininger.

W5's Joy Malbon speaks with Betty Leininger, the first Canadian woman to judge 'Best in Show' at the biggest dog show in the world.
